In the inner chambers of the place of spades
Bella stood beside Whittney while Arthur started to open a door. When all three went into the room the Lady ace's eyes went wide in wonder. The room was dark, the only light came from the candles which seemed to filled with candles on each of the corners. There seemed to be a circle with a star in the middle on the floor and in the top corner of the start was a mirror which Arthur headed toward.
The mirror was a floor length, with trim which caught Bella's eye. The said trim was incrusted with golden leaves and vines, which all led to the top. They all led to a beautiful golden rose which to Bella seemed to bloom as they were looking at it.
"Wow mum, I can't believe that you let us in your work shop." Whittney surprisingly said.
"I know but this calls for desperate measures." huffed Arthur who walked up to the mirror.
"Now girls you are not to tell anyone of what you have seen here." threatened Arthur.
The two girls nodded and followed the man to the mirror. They watched as it started to glow as if knowing what it was going to do. Arthur touched the mirror and then started to chant.
"Looking glass, let me see what is dear to me, so I call to see the Ace of Spades, where ever he maybe."
The girls looked to see the mirror rippled and then became crystal clear. When they saw the image of a sword being lowered on both Lace and Tina. Bella yelled in both fear and anger.
"Lance, Tina."
"Mum." Whittney shouted at her mum.
"I know, don't worry Belle."
"Don't worry, my brother and sister are going to be killed right before my eyes." Bella yelled at the two.
The two rushed to hold her then instead of hearing steel piercing skin they heard steel hit steel. They all looked to see a sword in front of the two which held the one that was going to hit them. When the saw the swordsman their reaction was ranging from happy to irritated.
The company of Hearts
Matthias was about to have a heart attack, his nephew and niece were going to be killed with a sword only to see the Ace of Spades protecting them. Relief and anger filled his veins, relief that his kin were alright but angry because it was the Spadian who saved them. His thoughts were crushed when a clubs solider came at him. He was saved by Lars who jumped in and took the attack.
After seeing his adoptive brother attacked Matthias quickly killed cut down the club solider. As he did that he grabbed Lars and laid him down quickly. He looked to his left to see the Ace of Spades holding his left arm close to his body. It seemed the red head had gotten a brunt of an attack, this caused Matthias to come to realization. They were going to lose, and they were going to die.
On coming to this conclusion, a strange thing started happening. The clubs were dropping their weapons. Yet when Matthias took a second look he saw that the weapons were jumping out the enemy's hands. The said weapons were glowing and then seemed to turn on their owners, yet with all this it seemed that the company of hearts and the Ace of spades weapons weren't effected.
The weapons are working against them, but the only person I know could do that... it can't be true...she's at the spades palace.
In the inner chambers of the place of spades
Both Arthur and Whittney were looking at Bella. The said blond had her hands out and eyes close. She seemed to glow a little, and they both could hear her talk under her breath. It seemed that she was chanting a prayer but Arthur could tell it was spell.
When the two saw that the clubs were retreating, Arthur quickly went to the younger blond and said.
"It's alright now love their fine, their safe."
Bella hearing the comfort in the queen's voice stop, and almost fell to the floor only to be stop by both Whittney and Arthur who caught her. The queen sighed in relief and turned to his daughter who was worried about her friend.
"Whittney, I want you to take Bella to the infirmary." Arthur gently told the brunette.
"What about you Mum, you have used a lot of magic..." Whittney murmured.
"Whittney, what have I told you about muttering, besides I need to get your uncle back here along with Bella's brother and the other man."
"Mum..."
"Go now tell the healers that need to be ready for the wounded." Arthur shouted at his daughter.
"Be careful mum." Whittney replied helping her friend along.
"Hopefully I still have enough strength to bring all three back in time." Arthur muttered to himself as he looked at the mirror and started the spell.
The company of Hearts
When the clubs left, Matthias went to his niece and nephew. Tina was holding her hands on her brothers side. Blood seemed to have stop a little but still it seemed to stain the pale hands of the girl. Lance was trying to calm Tina down and also trying to remember how to breath.
"Tina hush." Matthias order and then took Tina's hands off of the wound.
It was a bad cut which was bleeding slower which meant that red head's body was already reacting to the wound. Matthias ripped his shirt and tied it around the youth's stomach and tied it tight. That's when he saw that Ace of spades had come over to them while Lars was being carried by Ace of hearts.
"What are we going to do amigo, hearts is still a good 2 hours ride, and with Lance and Lars wounder like this I don't know if they'll make it." stated the Ace of Hearts.
"Then it's a good thing that I'm here." interrupted at voice.
They all turned to see the queen of spades standing in front of them with a portal behind him. This was surprising to the hearts but the Ace of spades was mad.
"Out of all things, what are ye doing here wee brother?!"
"Get you and two others medical help." stated Arthur as he walked over to Lance.
"Hang on son, Matthias I suggest you take the Ace and Tina back home. I promise you that Lance will have the best healers, and will be sent back to Hearts in one piece." Arthur gently said as he took the boy in his arms.
Lars was handed over to the Ace of spades who put him over his unwounded shoulder. The four headed into the portal. Tina was shaking in her uncle's arms as he comforted her. In the back of his mind was Tino is going to kill me.
